DAN PEPPE﻿

Dan Peppe's research focuses on integrating geology, paleomagnetism, paleoclimatology, and paleobotany to reconstruct past ecosystems to address the way that terrestrial ecosystems respond to climate change through time. He conducts his research primarily on Cenozoic terrestrial deposits in eastern Africa and North America

In eastern Africa, Peppe has participated in geological and paleontological fieldwork at several sites including the Kisingiri (Rusinga Island, Mfangano Island, and Karungu), Tinderet (Songhor, Koru), and Tugen Hills (Baringo) sites in Kenya and the Gona field site (Afar region) in Ethiopia. As part of the REACHE project, Peppe is leading and coordinating all geological analyses at the major project sites in Uganda and Kenya.
